An Exquisite Grace

The grace that shone upon you
When you first smiled on the earth,
Is the same grace that led you back
To where your heart has been called to. 

A dove that has settled on you,
Made its nest within you,
Sunk its voice in to you,
The butterflies in your hair
Laugh as the wind comes
Brushing its way past you,
The sunlight that bathed
Your skin each day
Still favors you today
To glow along with its light.  

The stars pushed to you a gift,
A present fashioned by God, 
Smiling as you took your instrument
And made merry with it to the world.

The universe that smiled on you yesterday, smiles on you today,
Make music then and gift your stage, this earth with a smile. 

                                                                                             ~ For Letitia
